Please share this video to all lawyers and members of the legal community in the Philippines

Order!

There is an upcoming event that's still flying under your radar as of this recording

na malamang ay maging interesado kayo

So, a historic legal debate is about to take place on YouTube, September 17, 5 to 7 p.m.

It will be between Atty. Rani Libayan, a trial lawyer also known as Batas Natin on YouTube

and Public Prosecutor EJ Fabrega from Ormoc, Leyte, also known as Fiscal EJ on YouTube as well

This debate aims to determine once and for all whether the age of sexual consent in the Philippines is set at 16 or 18 years old

Okay, so you might be asking, ano naman ang naging problema at bakit nila pagdedebatehan ito?

Allow me to explain

Several months ago, on a live discussion in his 400,000 subscriber channel

Atty. Libayan boldly proclaimed and continually asserted since

that the age of sexual consent in the Philippines had always been 18, was never 12, and still not 16

The age of sexual consent is always 18, it was never 12, it's not still 16

Even after reading about former President Rodrigo Duterte's signing of RA 11648 that traced the AOSC from 12 years old to 16 years old

Nakakainis kasi, mali-mali kasi itong sinasabi nila eh, itong PNA talaga na ito

Fake news

Siyempre, madaming depunker sa social media, they started countering his statements saying that his claims are absurd

and the AOSC is indeed 16 and not 18 as indicated in the signed RA

One such content creator used a video of a low-key content creator named Fiscal EJ to support his argument

The said video supports the AOSC being set at 16, katulad din ang sinasabi sa patas na pinirmahan ni Duterte

But Libayan remained adamant on it being 18

As social media habit, a number of content creators have invited Libayan to a friendly debate about the subject

Pero wala siyang tinatanggap dahil ang lagi niyong kondisyon ay kailangang abogado din daw ang makadebate niya

Now, to cut the long story short, upon seeing that Fiscal EJ himself was already sucked in this mess

Meloyap finally got to convince him na tanggapin ang hamon ni Atty. Libayan

at makipagdebate kung ano ba talaga ang tunay na nakalagay sa batas tungkol sa age of sexual consent

I just want to make a stand na tama yung paniniwala ko, 16 talaga yung AOSC, not 18

So Fiscal EJ, with the sole goal of making a stand on what he believes to be right

and challenge what he believes to be wrong information being spread to a wide audience on social media

I will be presenting evidence na sa batas talaga, 16 yung age of sexual consent and not 18

So now, I am inviting everyone in the legal community to participate in this discussion

Check it out, to chime in, in your TikToks, Facebooks, vlogs, kung ano man, YouTube channel

Kung ano ang palagay nyo sa tunay na batas sa Pilipinas tungkol sa age of sexual consent

Tell us now!

Diba?

Just to be clear din, this debate is not about what the participants personally think what the age of sexual consent should be

It is literally ano ba ang batas ngayon sa Pilipinas tungkol dito

Either way, excited na ako na marinig ang mga argumento and I hope this message reaches your community

So the best people who can really speak on this matter could be heard the loudest

and not just the demagogues on social media that support ideas based only in their tribal leanings

I think this is a rare and golden opportunity to get important legal discourse at the center of Pinoy social media

kahit paminsan-minsan lang

Again, you can catch the debate on September 17 at RMN's DZXL News Channel on YouTube and Facebook

So again, to our lawyer friends, I hope you can support this event and don't miss this chance to give your two cents about this issue

to make sure na something productive comes out of it kahit pa paano
